Residents To Continue Silver Star Extension Talks

July 15, 1987|By Diane Sims

A follow-up to last week's meeting on the extension of Silver Star Road is planned for 7 p.m. Tuesday at Princeton Elementary School, 311 W. Princeton St.

More than 400 College Park residents and merchants attended the S.O.S. (Save Our Streets) meeting July 7 and many expressed objections to the extension, which would connect Silver Star with the one-way Princeton and Smith streets.

The meeting will be conducted by an interim board of directors to be announced and voted in at the upcoming meeting, said Sandy Donn, College Park resident and homeowners association member.

Donn said other College Park traffic problems also will be discussed.

Anyone who would like more information about the homeowners association or would like to suggest topics to be discussed at the meeting may write to the College Park Neighborhood Association, P.O. Box 540859, Orlando 32854.

-- College Park Rotary Club has started its Polio Plus campaign with a $250 donation from the College Park Merchants and Professional Association.

Additionally, the club has received a $5,000 match pledge grant from trustees with the Clova Rogers Trust.

Under the Polio Plus project, the Rotarians are joining international efforts to provide immunization to children throughout the world. Their goal is to eradicate the crippling disease by 2005.

Americans do not think much about the disease, said Frank McMillan, Orlando attorney and College Park Rotarian. But in many parts of the world it is still a problem.

The College Park Rotary has set a minimum goal of raising $15,000 toward the estimated costs, which exceed $120 million for the worldwide immunization plan.

Anyone who would like more details about the Polio Plus program may call McMillan at 898-9191.

-- A two-story office building is being put up by McCree Architects and Constructors on the former Veteran's Auto Sales & Leasing lot, 1411 Edgewater Drive.

The 15,000-square-floot multitenant building is a joint venture between Orlando businessmen Jim and Bob Hewitt, Gary and Roger Fleming, John Cash and Chip Dixon.
